A/N: Hey everyone, this is my first story on here, and I'm excited to share it with you all. Feel free to give me any criticism that you see fit. I will be looking for a beta for this story, so if you're interested, please let me know. Besides that, this story is loosely based on a dream that I had. I really hope you all review, and let me know what you think.

Important Info: The story is Bella/Jasper, but with strong Alice/Jasper flashbacks throughout. There will be cheating in this story, sorry if that offends you, but that's what real life is made of. This story is AU/AH. Jasper, Edward, and Emmett are all best friends; as are Bella, Alice, Rosalie and Angela. For the sake of this story, Edward and Angela are together, Rosalie and Emmett, and then Alice and Jasper. I seriously love Angela, and think that she was never given enough credit in the books.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, its characters, or any publically recognizable content. I just use it for my amusement.

Bed of Lies

Chapter One: Bluebird

It was about 9:30 at night when Jasper pulled up in front of Rosalie's house in his 2004 Corvette, a nervous brunette sitting in the passengers seat next to him, worrying her lip to the point of it bleeding. Jasper turned and looked at her, taking her tiny hand in his, "Bella, it's okay. Don't worry." He brushed her hair behind her ear gently and kissed her forehead.

"How can I not worry Jasper? They all hate me. They all think I'm an awful person for what we did," Bella told him in an angry voice, crossing her arms and huffing in annoyance.

Jasper shook his head and sighed in resignation, they had been having this argument for the past week, ever since Emmett asked if Jasper would come to the party and bring Bella with him, "They don't all hate you baby. Emmett doesn't hate you, which means Rose doesn't hate you. Angela could never hate anyone, especially someone she's known since diapers, and Edward wouldn't hate anyone Angela cared for. So, the only person you have to worry about is-"

"Alice," Bella whispered, cutting him off, "Alice. Your ex-girlfriend, and my former best friend. I don't care what you say Jasper, I shouldn't be here. This is a bad idea. It's Alice's birthday party. You go on in and have a good time, I'll just drive the car back to my house and pick you up later, okay?" Bella questioned, looking up at Jasper with humor in her eyes. She knew that Jasper would never let her drive his car, even if his life depended on it.

Jasper grinned at Bella and chuckled to himself, "Come on funny girl, lets go. I promise, as soon as it gets bad, we'll leave," Jasper got out of the car and walked around to the other side to let Bella out. "Oh, and if I didn't tell you already tonight, you look beautiful," He whispered to her, kissing her quickly.

Walking up the steps to Rosalie's house, Bella and Jasper could hear the music thumping, which meant that there were no parents home and the alcohol was flowing easily and without question. Bella reached for Jasper's hand, squeezing it hard as he knocked on the front door. She fidgeted with her hair, her shirt, her skirt, her purse, her shoes, anything she could really, waiting for someone to answer the door. It seemed like years past, when really it was only seconds, before the ornate wood door was opened to reveal Emmett's grinning face, and like Bella suspected, Rosalie's cold one. "Well Hells Bells! Welcome back!" Emmett exclaimed, grabbing Bella and wrapping her into a big hug.

Bella playfully slapped his shoulder, laughing, "Emm, you big lug. Put me back on the floor. You know you can't be trusted after you've started drinking."

"What are you doing here? This is my house and I don't remember inviting any homewrecking whores." Rosalie's snide tone instantly killed any happy mood as she stared Bella down.

Standing strong, and not letting Rose see her weakness, Bella responded coldly, "Your boyfriend invited Jasper, and said it would be okay for me to come. Is there a problem? I can leave if you want, but I don't think your cousin or boyfriend would be very happy then." Bella raised an eyebrow at the end of her sentence, silently daring Rosalie to challenge her.

"Fine," Rosalie huffed, "Just stay out of Alice's way, okay? Both of you," she gave a pointed stare to Jasper as well.

"Got it ice queen, you can defrost now," Bella muttered, walking into the house, Jasper following behind her.

A few hours later, the party was winding down and Jasper and Bella had done a good job at avoiding Alice. There had been one run-in, but Alice had just ignored both of them. Now, as Bella followed Jasper to his car, they noticed someone sitting on top of the car. "Hi Alice, happy birthday." Bella muttered, not meeting her former friends eyes.

"Thanks Bella. Can I speak to you for a minute, it will be quick?" Alice asked, leaving no room for Bella to say no.

Bella nodded and walked with Alice a little ways down the sidewalk, "So..." Bella began nervously, she really didn't know what to expect from Alice. This was the first contact they have had in almost three months.

Alice laughed quietly at Bella's nerves. "Bella, I'm not going to hurt you. I might have thought about it at one point, but I've kind of gotten over it. I was glad that Emmett told Jasper to bring you. I know thin gs might be a little bit awkward right now between us, but I really have missed my best friend. And," Alice took a deep breath and paused for dramatic effect, "I've come to realize that its not fair for everyone to blame you and not blame Jasper at all. He had just as much responsibilty as you did. The only thing I want to know is how it happened. You don't have to tell me now, because we're both obviously drunk, but maybe tomorrow over lunch?" Alice looked at Bella with expectant big grey eyes.

Bella chuckled at Alice's expression, "Yeah Ali, that's fine. Mill Creek Bar and Grill okay?"

Alice nodded, "Yeah, that's perfect. See you then." She walked back to Jasper's car with Bella walking behind her, "It was nice of you to come Jasper. It really meant a lot. Thank you," Alice said quietly to Jasper, as she hugged him tightly, "I've missed you. Bella and I are getting together for lunch tomorrow, do you want to join us?" She looked at him expectantly, daring him to say no.

"Sure Alice, I would love to join you two," Jasper nodded, causing both Alice and Bella to grin.

Alice kissed his cheek and clapped as she let him go, "Best birthday present ever! Now get Bella home safely, and don't hit these two drunken idiots, please?" Alice motioned to Emmett and Edward who were dancing around the basketball hoop and rolling around in the road.

"No problem Alice, see you tomorrow," Jasper laughed as he opened Bella's door and quickly ran around to the drivers side. Once they were both situated, and the car had been started, he spoke to Bella, "That was interesting. She seemed, happy."

"I know. I wasn't expecting that when she wanted to talk to me, but I'm glad. I've missed her. Now, if only I can win Rose back." Bella sighed and curled up in her seat, watching the road before falling asleep.

A/N: Well, what did you guys think? This is just the first chapter, and it will get much more drama filled next chapter, during the lunch scene. Remember, even though this is a Bella/Jasper story, there will be a lot of Jasper/Alice in this as well. Please review!
